Slaton decides to go pro

I pretty much called this when rich Rod left. Not a surprise for me. That said I'm glad that he is entering. Just makes the draft that much deeper for players to slip down in the draft. Still do not want Dallas to draft him though. Sign Turner!!!

"West Virginia junior RB Steve Slaton announced earlier today that he will be skipping his senior season and entering the 2008 draft where he was projected to be a second round pick by the NFL's special advisory committee."

I've been telling people, that are high on this guy, that he's going to drop out of the 1st rd. He's not viewed as a NFL RB by most scouts. He doesn't have a NFL RB's body. I hope this puts that argument to rest.

I am curious if someone has his real timed speed? I've seen him listed at 4.4 and 4.58(yes Isaiah's time). I really thought he was closer to the sub 4.4! Am I mistaken? He just can't seem to stay healthy.
